Old Man Winter

February 16th, 2007

I don’t think the groundhog consulted Mother Nature when he decided not to see his shadow this year.  Wow this winter storm has really done a job on our town.  Everything is white and is screaming for some color.  I thought it would be fun to take my fingerpaints to the snow, but somehow I couldn’t convince mom to go outside.  It’s not like it’s -10 with the wind chill (ok maybe it is, but to me that feels like 50)

Well, my birthday party was a big hit.  All my friends came and played with me and we had cake and ice cream.  My family was there too.  We went through so much pizza and cake!  Loads of fun.  I didn’t stay up to watch the super bowl cuz I was too tired from partying! 

Our official announcement is here!  The walk a thon 2007 fundraising is under way.  Check us out at http://www.firstgiving.com/ariannasawesomeadventure .  Depending on how mama is feeling we hope to be in Philadelphia this year for the walk.  We decided that it wasn’t wise to travel to Canada 2 weeks prior to the new kid’s arrival, just in case she decides to come early.

We’ve raised the bar for this year.  Here’s the challenge.  If you live in any of the following cities and would like to walk, we’d love you to create an Awesome Adventure Axillary Team!

Atlanta
Birmingham
Chicago
Dallas/Fort Worth
Denver
Grand Rapids
Houston
Jacksonville, FL
Las Vegas, NV
Nashville
Orange County, CA
Philadelphia
Phoenix
Pittsburgh
Sacramento, CA
St. Louis
Washington, DC
We hope to have all the walk sites covered with friends and family of ME!  If everyone who walks brings a $10 donation to the site, that would raise sooooo much money for research and ASF support.  We’ll be attending the ASF conference in St. Louis in July and we’d love to bring a big banner of names and places we had an Ari Axillary Team in place!  Let  momma know if you are interested.  I’m sure she’ll be sending out a big email to remind you.
I’ve grown up so much since last year.  Mom and Dad are just gleeming with excitement to see all that I can do… I’m walking, babbling (I like to say mom mom when Momma isn’t around), trying to run, climbing like a monkey, getting into anything I can get my hands on, and by the way did I tell you I can swim by myself!  I even have my own first computer (although I had to show mom how to open the battery compartment to make it work). I think I’ve blown some of my therapists away with my new found independence, hey, I’m a big girl now and I know what I want when I want it.  If you decide not to comply, I’ve gotten over throwing a fit, I just move on and do it on my own!  Fits are soooo two years old.
Well off to the next adventure… til next time- Ari Out!
